Memorable live experiences
Meet the Makers – a companion to the successful national public television series tasteMAKERS – is a series of unique on-the-ground event experiences showcasing innovative culinary makers, chefs and farmers held in nine key markets that offer an array of brand integration opportunities for sponsors to directly connect with an engaged, educated, curious audience.
This unique multi-media experience features a live stage show that screens segments from the series and brings the people featured in the episode up on stage with host Cat Neville for interviews and cooking demonstrations. The hour-long live show is followed by a pop-up Makers Market where guests can eat, drink, shop and directly interact with vendors.
The event is designed to be casual and fun and engaging — a there are numerous opportunities to leverage these events to build brand awareness and deepen connections through customized partnerships.
